I like the team sheet

Bakayoko 

What are the odds that we'll lose on penalties 

9 changes but at least he's put a few decent options on the bench this time ...

Bakayoko in the shop window perhaps ?

Bakayoko ? This could be hard work tonight.

Will we score a goal?

Nearly 5 hours of football since the last one?

I am good with the XI. Now go take care of business lads, 4-0 please.

Come on you Chelsea!!

Kenedy was pretty awful (to say the least) in the first game.  Hope he's better tonight.

it's why we are in desperate need of a lwb. i'm glad we are at least looking at a couple. problem is, actually buying them.

At least good to see 3 on top. I'm also very happy to see Luiz.

Chelsea team tonight: Caballero; Azpilicueta (c), David Luiz, Ampadu; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro.

 

Chelsea subs: Eduardo, Christensen, Sterling, Kante, Musonda, Hazard, Morata

I hope Conte is not under estimating Norwich  for the second time.

What is going on with this Bakayoko, please explain to me???

Kick off delayed until 8 o'clock due to transport difficulties.

I honestly think it was the worst performance I've seen us ever play.  He wasn't alone.

I don't mind us drawing, losing, but not putting in any effort?  That kills me.  David Luiz needs a big game for mine.

It was awful wasn't it?  Though Liverpool at home last season was pretty close too.  (That's obviously discounting some of the Division 2 and low Division 1 performances I used to watch in the late 70s too!  Luckily I was so far from the pitch I couldn't always be certain how bad it was!)

I wasn't around for those BQ, but all you can ever ask is to give 100%... regardless of your division.  I hope they boys still gave it their all!

Will Chelsea win or lose against Norwich? Should i care?...............

 

I don't know what to expect from this 2nd-Leg Semi-Final other than the probability that it will be extremely boring. That's regardless of Chelsea winning or losing.

Ffs you don't even know what competition we are playing in for this match

Ross Barkley is likely to play in this match but i don't think he will necessarily start until the 2nd half. I personally hope he plays 90 minutes.

Wrong again, he's ineligible for this match.  If you are going to troll this forum at least try and make the effort to get some basic facts right.

First half was atrocious. Things improved in the second half and we were only poor.

You're right of course - they were just pretty crap I think!

Not the best line up nor neither the worst and as said earlier it is a strong bench.

Let's hope the boys in blue can save us the bare-knuckle ride of penalties and despatch the canaries in normal time.

The team is completely made of non starting XI, that is probably why Bakayoko is there. Hopefully this means Conte no longer views him as a starter.

 

Stamford Bridge looking superb from the overhead shots on BBC1 right now. Great to see Gianfranco in the studio as well.

Now lets go and do the business.

All we ask is that he himself puts a shift in tonight, lack of intensity in his game has been shocking.

 

As for the team, this probably depends on how well Willian plays and if Ampadu accompanied by Kenedy get exposed.
